Architecturally reimagined by EJE, this residence delivers a masterclass in blending timeless character with bold contemporary design. From the street, the beautifully restored period façade pays homage to the home's heritage, while beyond the front door, the transformation unfolds in spectacular fashion.
An arched hallway, tall ceilings and traditional sash windows provide elegant nods to the past before the home opens into a breathtaking contemporary rear addition where polished concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling glazing and custom joinery create a striking sense of scale and light. The showpiece island kitchen feels every bit the heart of the home, appointed with Caesarstone surfaces, Siemens appliances including double ovens with steam function, an Asko induction and gas cooktop, integrated dishwasher and a walk-in pantry. A statement brick fireplace anchors the living zone, while outdoors, the composite deck and sparkling pool seamlessly extend the home's living and entertaining space into the open air.
The layout places four bedrooms, a study and a beautifully appointed family bathroom toward the original front section of the home before opening into expansive open plan living and dining. Occupying its own private upper level, the parents' retreat feels more boutique hotel than everyday bedroom, complete with its own living area, balcony, custom dressing room and a luxurious ensuite featuring a freestanding oval bath, double shower and refined designer finishes.
The freestanding double garage includes its own bathroom ideal for poolside use, while electric gated access and an integrated vehicle turntable make coming and going effortless in this tightly held inner-city setting. Ducted air-conditioning, ceiling fans and acoustic front glazing speak to the level of detail invested into every inch of the renovation.
Right where Cooks Hill, Bar Beach and The Junction converge, the lifestyle here is every bit as impressive as the home itself. Start the morning with a swim or surf at Bar Beach, grab coffee from Hubro, and keep daily errands simple with Harris Farm, Coles, Genesis Fitness and Cooks Hill Medical all close by. By evening, Darby Street and The Junction deliver some of Newcastle's best dining, wine bars and cafés just moments from your door.
